Class Note 1946
Issue
Mar - Apr 2018
Seasons greetings to all ’46 classmates, families and friends. Our peripatetic classmate Dave Chalmers is showing he still has a lot of gas left in the tank as he follows his self-organized, commercial flight travel bucket list—he had visited more than 100 countries as of early last year for business or leisure. Last I heard from Dave, this fall he was off to Chile, a new country on his itinerary.
Stan Waterman expressed his appreciation to me for including his second book, Sea Salt II, in a previous Class Notes column. It is a fascinating story of Stan’s exciting and dangerous experience as a scuba diver beneath the sea as well as a description of his significant contributions to the study of undersea life. Stan reminded me about having joined with other ’46s who met for several evenings in Baker Library with Robert Frost in a small group.
Angela Stafford, our class representative from the alumni relations office, tells me that a new intern will be assigned to her office after the first of this year who will work with our class in putting out a newsletter under the guidance of the Alumni Association. Please send me your Green Cards with any info for the newsletter. Information from families and friends is welcome.
It is always difficult to express our condolences to the families of our deceased classmates as well as those dear to them. At this time, I have to report the death of my beloved wife, Susan, on November 29, 2017. She courageously fought cancer for the past year. Susan attended every 1946 class reunion with me, including our last big reunion in the fall of 2016. She enjoyed meeting and sharing in the warm companionships of returning classmates, families and friends, especially going off with the women on shopping trips and Hopkins Center events while our classmates were attending to official class business or watching the football games. Our class sympathy to the family of Ralph Garfield Slighter Jr., who died July 16, 2017. While at Dartmouth Ralph was a member of the Dartmouth Christian Fellowship and Navy V-12. He was an Alumni Fund volunteer class agent (1960-70).
